Many of the movers and shakers from various businesses and organizations in Los Alamitos gathered at a reception hosted by Event-News Enterprise to celebrate the “Best of Los Alamitos.”
“This is our 6th year of presenting awards that have been voted on by our readers,” said Steven Remery, Group Publisher of Orange County Neighborhood Newspapers, Inc.
Remery said the paper has “deep roots” in the community, having published consistently since 1923. “This is an annual opportunity to celebrate the participation of our readers and recognize the many professionals and organizations that have attracted the support of our readers,” he said.
Los Alamitos Mayor Pro-Tem Richard Murphy attended, along with three members of the city council, city manager Les Johnson and key staff members from the city.
Col. Nick Ducich, installation commander of the Joint Forces Training Base in Los Alamitos, accepted the award for the base being voted the “Best Part of Los Alamitos.”
Other key business leaders, including Los Al Chamber officials, mingled during the two-hour event at Wahoo’s Fish Taco on Los Alamitos Boulevard.
“We are here to congratulate all of this year’s winners,” said Remery, “and we are very grateful to all of our readers for taking the time to vote.”
